Kevin,
I would either fish Minoqua chain for both largies or smallies. The bite on Mid lake can be great this time of year. If you want some area, then just pm me. Boom lake is good in Rhinelander, Butternut and Franklin are both ggood lakes for monster smallies. Gin clear water, but it can be a great bite.
When are you going to be up there. I will be up in that area the next two weekends for a fishing trip and a bachelor party/fishing trip. Let me know if you need anything else.
Ben
